Birthday messages for a friend
For a close friend, skip the standard cardboard cliché. Write a note that reminds them of shared laughs, adventures, or your favorite memories together.
How to write a great birthday note to a friend
- Mention an inside joke or shared adventure from the past year.
- Celebrate who they are and how much their friendship means to you.
- Use the words you would normally say to them instead of making the note formal.
